In February 2018 I came to Jake Stanford wanting to get two full color sleeves. We set up Sundays…read morefor my appointments. I was supposed to come get tattooed every Sunday until the sleeves were finished. Jake was NEVER on time for our appointment. He was late so often that eventually we pushed the start time back from one until two. Sometimes it was later. He was never prepared to work. This would mean I showed up at two for an appointment but would have to wait for him to open the shop, eat, use the bathroom, & then setup to tattoo. Most days the actual tattooing did not start until several HOURS after my appointment time. If the appointment was 2 that would mean tattooing starts at 5. I've never had someone waste my time more than Jake. JAKE IS ALSO COLORBLIND. Something he does not tell people up front. Something he did not tell me until several sessions into color sleeves. Due to this he tattoos at such a slow rate that it seems unreal. A two hour tattoo becomes a full day experience after waiting several hours to start and then the slow pace at which Jake tattoos. He also checks text messages and social media while tattooing. Due to this slow process a tattoo that should be a few hours and 1 session gets stretched into several sessions over multiple days. None of the tattoos Jake does are 1 session. I have several unfinished tattoos on me which Jake does not want to schedule finishing due to the fact "touchups" are unpaid. I've sat over 51 hours of tattooing with Jake and nothing is complete.  I switched from Sundays to Thursdays to accommodate Jake. Three apts ago I was cut short for Jake to go on a date. Two apts ago I was cut short because Jake had scheduled another tattoo after mine even though I was supposed to be booked for the day. Last apt he cut me short again for another tattoo even though I had booked a full day. Then I had an appointment which he tried to push from 2 up to noon so he could tattoo someone else even though again, I was supposed to have the day booked. I cancelled that apt knowing there was no way Jake would be on time at noon or fully awake and at 100% to tattoo. Then I was told I have to wait a month to get in because my full days were booked by other people. Now I'm in the position of having to find another artist to finish what Jake started or find a way to cover it all.

I called yesterday randomly to see if they had an opening to do gel nails! Barb answered and first…read moreI must say, even if she would have said no, I still would have made an appt to go in and get them done there for the first time just because of her amazing greeting on the phone and attention to my call!! What a pleasant surprise from the norm! She ended up telling me to get right there that she would get me done before her next appointment. Wow, did she do a great job! She took the time to learn about my nails, what I do for a living to see how they would wear and what would suit best! I loved this since I've had it all done before and was on a "nail break". She gave me exactly what I wanted, was able to offer lots of different options and BONUS....she gave me a HAND MASSAGE ladies and hot towels when she was done with my nails!!!! Icing on the cake! For a tired mom, that is everything! She was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable and not rushed but also still got me in and out of there in a timely manner on my schedule!! Also, holy affordable!!! If I could give more than five stars I would!!! I may be going back more than bi-weekly and will be a new regular!
